The problem with that is I would have to upgrade the "world" - I had 
tried putting over a 4.11 kernel and netstat -m wouldn't work, plus who 
knows what else. The recommendation I read was to make buildworld to go 
with the appropriate kernel and I am concerned if the plethora of
userland stuff, (postgres,php,apache,snort,etc,etc - about 50 ports) 
would have to be recompiled and reinstalled - this would mean we would 
have to go thru major regression testing and of course we need it now.

The 4.11 kernel that I tried which I had cvsuped on 3-24 to 4.11-STABLE 
still showed the problem.

Is this problem fixed in 4.11p16?
